Send Your Views to Gov't. 

Premier aAberhart, in urging 
that-rural citizens affected by the 
project communicate their views 
on it' to the Goverument, is report- 
ed to have said on Saturday that 
the proposed «unification of school 
districts. in, Alberta will detract 


‘little from the autonomy of the in- 


dividunl] districts. 

“ Taxes will be collectee as in 
the past,” he said. “ with this diff- 
erence —alevy ad-quate to the 
needs of each area will be set by 
the larger division, and each dis- 
trict which demands individual 


‘improvements will have to raise 


itsown rate above the averaye to 
meet the extra costs. 

“The greatest benefit by the 
chenge will lie in the fact that 
oue indlvidual, or a few, in each 
school district will not be able to 
set the curricnium in that district. 
The needs of a whole division so as 
to give pupils there as wide a 
knoWiedge as possible will be con- 
sidered, and «a curriculum will be 
set for that division. 

“ Teachers will be appointed. by 
the divisional boards, but any dis- 
trict may petition for a particu- 
lar teavher, or a certain type af 
teacher. 

“ District school boards will be 
retained, and all members may at- 
tend meetings of tha sub-divisional 
boards, if they wish. Then each 
sub-division will appoint a repre 
sentative to the divisional board, 
which will represent prohably 45 
districts,” 


ing, called to discuss the proposed 


unification of the school ' districts one 
in this Province, was held in Stony Hangers,

A Chime Invasion~ 


, Signs ‘and portents are not lacking that Canada, including the prairie 
provinces, “is to be favored’ during the coming summer with the presence 
of a horde of criminals from the United States bent on rapine and slaugh- 
ter, with the peaceful “citizens of ‘this country as their victims. 

Indeed, a migratory movement of the dregs and sweepings of the under- 

world of our neighbor to ‘the séuth has already commenced and their un- 
lawful and-ruthless activities are already being recorded on the police blot- 
ters in 8ome of the cities across the continent north of the 49th parallel. 
: Recent newspaper, reports have noted daring bank holdups, safe-blow- 
ings and robberies, accompanied in.some cases by particularly cold-blooded 
‘and unnecessary murders, unnecessary even for the successful prosecution 
of the unlawful raids on property which are,the primary aim of these 
crime perpetrators: 

These undesirable visitors from across the line have made their pres- 
ence felt in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Quebec and 
Toronto and have staged coups, sometimes with the assistance of local 
craftsmen with whom they have established contact, and in some cases 
without such aid. 

So far this winter these desperadoes have confined their attention to 
the cities, principally because, in the western provinces at any rate, climatic 
conditions make criminal forays on the smaller towns and villages imprac- 
ticable, if not impossible. With the advent of spring and after snow has 


disappeared and roads and highways become negotiable with ease, it is ; 


reasonable to assume that some of them will divert their activities in the 
direction of the small ‘town merchant, the village post office and perhaps 
eyen to an occasional farm, unless their nefarious deeds are sternly checked. 

The reason for this trek of bandits and thugs, armed with gats and 
sawed-off shot guns, dynamite and nitro-glycerine, crowbars and jemmies is 
easily explained. They are being driven out like rats from the country 
which until recently has afforded them a fairly safe domicile and where 
they have been able to carry on their iniquitous trade with comparative 
immunity. 

The federal government of the United States is tightening up on the 
robber and the killer. Substantial additions have been made to police and 
detective appropriations and forces and a campaign to suppress crimes, and 
especially crimes of violence, is. well under way and is being carried out 
with a greater measure of success than has heretofore attended previous 
sporadic and isolated efforts in the land of the stars and stripes. 

Many of the desperate criminals in the United States who have so far 
escaped the tightening meshes of the police nets in their own country are 
becoming fearful of their safety if they continue their illegal practices in 
their own land and are seeking pastures more green elsewhere. For geo- 
graphical reasons alone they are turning their eyes towards Canada and 
their footsteps in this country. The advance guard is already here and 
more may be expected to come when weather conditions facilitate mobile 
transit. 

The United States authorities are taking this action because public 
opinion’ in that country has made its voice heard. The people have de- 
manded that steps be taken, if not to rid the country of serious crime, at 
least to reduce it to reasonable proportions. Hence, the drive now in pro- 
gress. Unless, however, the people of this country are to inherit an un- 
wanted legacy from the States, they, too, must make it known to the 
_ authorities that they stand four square behind every effort that can be 
made to repel an undesirable invasion. : 

The people and the federal authorities of the U.S.A. are to be com- 
mended for the effective campaign they are belatedly waging to rid them- 
selvs of a serious blotch on their social and economic life, but the people 
and authorities of this country must co-operate to see to it that the dis- 
carded sapling is not grafted on to our own tree. 

The people of Canada do not want these visiting “gentlemen”. They 
have no desire to afford them harborage. They have no wish to permit 
them to rob and slay innocent citizens, nor to allow them to establish 
schools for crime with our own criminals and potentials as pupils. For that 
will be the ultimate outcome if these people are treated with complacency 
and tolerance. Unfortunately, this country has enough lawless without 
importing more from outside. 

Mayor 'G. G. McGeer of Vancouver, who visualizes this menace, de- 
clared recently that the police forces of this country are not adequately 
equipped to handle effectively such a dangerous invasion, stating in effect, 
that it is hopeless to cope with 20th century criminals with 19th century 
equipment, | 

If Mayor McGeer’s inference is well founded it is time to be strength- 
ening the defences. The governments of the country and the provinces 
will be well advised to spend the necessary money to bring police equip- 
ment up to date to modernize their methods of securing information 
and of tracking’ doWn these foes of society. 

Dangerous criminals, such as have infested Chicago and other Ameri- 
can cities are not wanted in Canada. They should be caught as soon as 


they commence operations in this country. Once caught and the proper 
evidence produced to convict them, the Bench can be relied upon to deal 
with them effectively, in accord with the renowned tenets. of British jus- 
tice. > ' 


The earth has supplies of energy 
to meet very need of man for thou- 
sands of years, according to Gustav 

, Chicago, in an address be- 
the American Chemical Society.

freezing a person will kill all disease

Alberta’s Fur Market 
First Annual Sale In Five Years 
Attracts Buyers 

Fur, trade going to Edmonton. this 

year promises to equal that of 1935, 

both in Woelume and quality, wecord- 
ing to dealers. 

The first annual sale held for five 

years concluded with total sales of 

$100,000 worth of pelts of various 


kinds, Buyers were present from 
Milan, Italy, Vancouver, London, 
Montreal, Seattle, Toronto, New 


York and «Winnipeg. ; 

Among offerings disposed cf) was 
a consignment of $16,000 of wearel 
pelts. A large shipment of mink 
was also snapped up by buyers. 
Prices prevailing at the auction c6m- 
pared favorably with those on the 
Winnipeg market. ; 

The total value of furs bought in 
Alberta for shipment last. year 
amounted to $2,000,000 and it is ex- 
pected that this sum will be equal- 
led this year by the end of the sea- 
son. 

Commendation of the quality of 
furs was expressed by Ricardo Berg- 
mano and Joseph Milstein, of Milan, 
Italy, who represent one of the larg- 
est wholesale fur houses in southern 
Europe. The Italians made ‘several 
large purchases, particularly of wolf 
pelts.

Basis for optimism for the immedi-

course of his address at the 67th An-| 


Canada. 


“Inevery province of Canada”, said | 
Mr. ‘Wilson, “the improvement in con- 
ditions has reduced unemployment | 
created increased purchasing 
power. To the farmers of the west, 
there is an almost immeasurable dif- | 
ference between a price of 40c and) 


90c for wheat and there is every pros- | 
pect that by the end of the crop year, | 


the carryover will be materially re- 
duced. In the cities, the burdens and} 
distress due to unemployment have 
been reduced by an expansion in all| 
lines of manufacturing. In fact, in| 
recent months the volume ,of manu- 
facturing has exceeded that in the 
normal base year 1926.” ? 

Marked expansion in the automo- 
bile and allied industries, the chemi- 
cal industry, in the demand for tex- 
tiles and boots, were also noted by 
Mr. Wilson, who remarked that the 
sustained activity in the mining in- 
dustry during: the depression and its 
expansion in 1934-1935 have been out- 
standing elements in Canadian re- 
covery. 

Mining 


“The payrolls of that industry’, 
said Mr. Wilson, “provided generous 
wages at a time when many of those 
employed in other industries were out 
of work. Without the expenditures 
of the mining industry for supplies, 
machinery and other items, the de- 


much more severe. In spite of low

While recognizing fully our social 
obligations, I fear that these expendi-

promised survey by the Dominion 
Government is awaited with great 
interest.” 


Sanctity of Contracts 


Referring to the repudiation last 
year by one of the Provinces of im- 
portant long-term power. contracts, 
Mr. Wilson said: ‘The alleged ground 
was that of illegality, but it is note- 
worthy that disregarding all ordinary 
canons of British justice, the ag- 
grieved investors have been denied 
access to the courts to press their 
elaims. Moral considerations aside 
—and these are not to be lightly 
disregarded—the policy .of repudiat- 
ing contracts that may have become 
burdensome because of changed con- 
ditions strikes at the very root of 
our social and economic life, Stated

Provincial Finances 
“The financial position of some of 


Economic conditions 
in Western Canada, and abnormally 
heavy expeditures for relief result- 
ing therefrom, have necessitated 
large advances from the Dominion 
Government. It was inevitable that 
sooner or later the question of con- 
trol by the Federal Government over 
finances of these provinces 
should be brought up, particularly 


that the Federal Government, by

Foreign Trade 


trade in the past three years has 
been with the British Empire’ and 
the United States. The present up- 
turn in businéss activity is associat- 
ed with @ rising ‘demand for Cana- 
dian goods in Empire markets and 
in the markets of the United States. 
In the twelve ‘months ending in 
November’ 1935 Ganadian exports 
to the Empire exceeded those of the 
same months of the previous two 
years by $25 million and $108 mil- 
lion respectively. Exports to the 
United States showed corresponding 
gains of $54 million and $100 mil- 
lion. Figures show that as yet Can- 
ada is not benefiting by any gains 


| in general world buying power, but 


rather from the recovery which is 
under way in Great Britain and the 
United States. It would seem that 
Canada is indeed fortunate to have 
secured favorable trade agreements 
with her two best customers. While 
the agreement with the United 
States has been in effect but a few 
days, in view of the gain of $100 
million over the past two years, op- 
timism as to further gains in ex- 
ports to the United States during 
1936 is justified. 
Summary 


“IT would not feel justified in clos- 
ing my remarks without emphasiz- 
ing that many serious problems still 
confront us. 

“But neither can I close on a pes- 
simistic note. The Canadian people 
have faced—and I sincerely believe 
have conquered—the depression. At 
this stage we must not listen to the 
faint-hearted who have become’ 
frightened or discouraged by the 
trials of recent years, Those who 
now urge default, repudiation or 
compromise as a solution of our 
financial problem are false prophets 
who have not correctly read the 
signs of the times. The Canadian 
peop!e are made of sterner stuff. 

“The upward trend in_ business 
would now seem to be definitely 
established. In fact, I believe we may 
look forward to the coming :year 
with a greater optimism than has 
been possible at any time in the past 
six years.” 

General Manager’s Address 


Mr. S. G. Dobson, general man- 
ager, referred to the financial state- 
ment, as follows: 

“The Sixty-Sixth Annual Report 
and Balance Sheet reflect continu- 
ance of the upturn of business which 
began in 1933, and which has pro- 
gressed almost without interruption 
since that. time. Totals under prac- 
tically all headings are again higher, 
indicating the steady and continuous 
growth of the bank. 

“A year ago we reported an in- 
crease of $50,000,000 in deposits. 
This year we are able to report a 
further increase of over $50,000,000, 
or a total of over $100,000,000 in 
two years—an impressive amount. 
Deposits in Canada again increased 
in all provinces, savings deposits 
being up over $11,000,000. 

“Because of the continued lack of 
demand for commercial loans, the 
main outlet for investment of the 
additional deposits has been the pur- 
chase of Government and Municipal 
securities. As a consequence, assets 
under these headings have increased 
by $63,000,000 to $196,000,000, 

Assets Up $42,000,000 

“Total assets during the year in- 
creased $42,000,000, and are now 
$800,919,700, the highest point reach- 
ed since 1931. Quick assets stand at 
$423,673,881, or 58.72% of total lia- 
bilities to the public. 

“Call Loans in Canada increased 
$2,898,034, while Call Loans outside 
of Canada decreased $10,690,196. 

“Current Loans in Canada have 
increased by $300,000 and similar 
advances abroad by $2,573,809. While 
there has been a considerable im- 
provement in business conditions, so 
far recovery has not increased ap- 
preciably the demand for bank ac- 
commodation, ¥ 

“Our senior Executive organization 
was recently enlarged by the ap- 
pointment of three Assistant Gen- 
eral Managers, namely, Burnham L, 
Mitchell, James Muir and Harold G. 
Hesler, Mr. Mitchell will continue 
to supervise Ontario business with 
headquarters in: Toronto, and Mr. 
Muir and Mr. Hesler will, as hereto- 
fore, be attached to Head Office, All 
three are highly trained bankers of 
wide experience, who have spent their 
business lifetime in the service of 
the bank. ‘ y 

“At the last annual meeting, I 
ventured the opinion that we had 
every justification for looking for- 
ward to improved conditions during 
1935...This expectation has been 
réalized perhaps to an even greater 
extent than we had hoped for at that 
time. The outlook is still favorable 
and, as I fee it} there is no reason 
‘why we should not enter 1936 with 


“Seven-eights of our total foreign] a feeling of optimism.”

Discoveries’ Of Scietice Are 


ee 


Capable Of Revolutionizing 
Processes Of Modern Life 


The chemist is gradually displac- 
ing the farmer, Dr. Robert H. Clark, 
head of the department of chemis- 
try of the University of British Col- 
umbia, believes. 

Addressing the Vancouver Insti- 
tute, Prof. Clark estimated that 20,- 
000,000 fewer agricultural workers 
are needed to-day to produce the 
food consumed in the United States 
because of the discovery of substi- 
tutes for natural products. 

‘We have, just recently,” he said, 
“discovered the hormone of growth. 
There is no reason why the farmer 
now should not grow chickens as 
big as pigs, that will lay eggs as 
big as footballs; pigs the size of cows, 
and cows the size of mastodons, 


with no more food than they use at 
present. 

“The only place we haven't pene- 
trated yet is into government. With 
all this connection of science with 
agriculture, when the United States 
farm board was formed, all physic- 
ists, chemists and biologists were 
excluded from it. 

“We have embarked on an age of 
plenty, leaving behind one of scarc- 
ity,” he proceeded. “To chemistry, 
more than ‘to any other factor, do 
we owe the changes that have oc- 
curred in manufacturing and the 
employment of labor. The chemical 
industry, more than any other has 
raised the standard of living on this 
continent, and of the entire human 
race.” , 

Dr. Clark said that not only agri- 
culture, but also the building indus- 
try, transportation, textile manufac- 
turers, fuel producers, metal trades 
and medicine owe their greatest 
changes to chemistry. 

The discoveries already made, or 
on the point of being brought into 
practical usé; hesaid, are such as 
are capable of revolutionizing the 
processes of modern life. : 

“The fact’ is that our industrial 
system is based on the requirements 
of an age of scarcity,” he said. “We 
need a new system of distribution 
and social control. Science has 
made it necessary, and there will be 
a new outlook’ for science if we get 
it.” 

He declared that chemistry has 
gone beyond the mere concoction of 
substitutes for natural products. It 
is creating new products that are 
better than the originals. 

“We have got beyond calling our 
creations ‘leatherite’ and ‘rubberoid’ 
and ‘artificial this-and-that’,” he 
said. “We are giving them names 
of their own; they are not substi- 
tutes any longer. 

“Have. we wrecked the farm? 
Perhaps we have. Since the chemist 
turned to. agricultural, 20,000,000 
fewer people are needed to feed the 
United States.” 

As examples.of the manner in 
which chemistry has displayed the 
labor of the farmer he cited: 

1. Use of artificial compounds for 
natural products. In the production 
of indigo-blue 1,600,000 acres used 
to be used; now none is grown, and 
indigo is one-tenth its former price. 

2. Pulp. substitutes for textile 
materials; artificial wool, cotton and 
silk are better than the real, and 


* cost less. 


8. Improvement of inferior pro- 
ducts; cottonseed and other inferior 
oils are made into high-class fats 
and oils. 

4. Use of cultivated raw materi- 
als; alcohol, for instance, can be 


made from waterglass or woodpulp|: 


for 16 cents a gallon, a fraction of 
the price of the product- made’ from 
grains. 

“On the other hand,” Dr. Clarke 
said, “we have given the farmer 
fertilizers distilled from the air, we 
have created new plants for him, 
and protected the old’. We have 
found out what his plants: eat and 
given him the stuff to feed them 
with.” ‘

Dairy Prospects Better 


High Level Of Production Forecast 
For This Year 

Cows have their census taken just 
the same as people. A change in 
the number of cattle is a matter of 
great interest to dairymen, ‘butter- 
makers, cheesemakers; in fact, for 
almost all farmers as well as con- 
sumers of dairy products. In June, 
1935, the number of milk ‘cows on 
farms in Canada was less than at 
the same date in 1934. The expect- 
ed result would be a reduction in 
the total amount of milk produced. 
Actually, an increase has taken 
place, due to the material improve- 
ment in available feed supplies in 
most parts of Canada, in addition to 
a higher proportion of the cows 
actually being milked. It is -in such 
@ manner that the Dominion Depart- 
ments of Agriculture and Trade and 
Commerce have gone about diagnos- 
ing the prospects for dairy products 
in 1936, in their publication the 
Agricultural Situation and Outlook. 
Producers of milk and milk products 
in Canada may look forward to re- 
turns in 1936 at least as high as in 
1935. Summarizing the situation, 
the Outlook states: “Examination of 
the factors which will affect the 
production of dairy products indi- 
cates that production is likely to be 
maintained at reasonably high levels 
during 1936 and it is expected that 
the income of dairymen should be 
as high as during 1935.” 

For the first ten months of 1935, 
Canada produced over 215,000,000 
pounds of butter, which is sufficient 
to spread thinly over about nine 
thousand acres of bread. Storage 
stocks of butter in Canada were re- 
duced substantially by exportation 
during the latter part of 1935. Ex- 
ports to Great Britain amounted to 
approximately six million pounds in 
this period. This left storage stocks 
comparatively light and unless the 
price of butter rises to a _ point 
where consumption is restricted, it 
is anticipated that domestic require- 
ments will take care of present 
stocks and winter production. The 
per capita consumption of butter in 
Canada in 1931 was approximately 
31 pounds, compared with 23 pounds 
in 1921. Consumption since 1931 
has remained about constant. 


. Butter Grading 


Means Of Improving Expert Trade 
In Butter And Cream 

Dairying methods in Alberta were 
cited before the Nova Scotia Dairy- 
men’s Association convention at 
Halifax’ as a means of improving ex- 
port trade in butter and cream. 

Grading of the two products in 
the prairie province, said W. C. 
Cameron, chief inspector of dairy 
products for Canada, had brought 
“immediate improvement” in its 
trade with the Pacific coast. It was 
an indication, he asserted, ‘the time 
has come when no province or firm 
can afford not to grade its butter.” 

But he warned against placing the 
home market in jeopardy with higher 
quality products. ‘Butter of a lower 
type will mean a lower price; if the 
improved butter is of a higher grade, 
there will be a lower amount of 
Nova Scotia butter bought.’ 


' Research In Agriculture 
Need Stressed Of Greater Apprecia- 
tion Of Scientific Research 


The need for’ popularization of 
scientific research in agriculture was 


@ greater understanding and appre- 
ciation scientific research and 


Saskatchewan should be zoned for 
wheat quality by districts, J. C. 
Mitchell, president of the Saskatche- 
wan Field Husbandry Association, 
suggested at the annual meeting of 
the association at the University of 
Saskatchewan. He believed that 
Canada would find it advantageous 
to standardize an export wheat as 
high as 14 to 15 per cent. protein. 

In his presidential address, Mr. 
Mitchell commented on the zoning 
of Saskatchewan for varieties of 
grain recommended for each district. 
He thought the principle should be 
carried further. Districts should be 
listed according to the quality of 
grain produced, Grain was being 
sold on sample. 

He also thought establishment of 
a definite Canadian standard for ex- 
port wheat would be beneficial. Such 
standardized grain would be sought 
by buyers who would know what 
they were getting. 

He believed a wheat board was 
very necessary not just for one crop. 
He thought that the -wheat board 
issue had been made a political foot- 
ball and forecast that some men 
would be “walking ‘the plank politic- 
ally.” 

Commenting. on the lavish ex- 
penditure by Russia in agricultural 
research, he felt Saskatchewan and 
Canada should spend generously and 
even rather recklessly on such work. 
Russia might take Saskatchewan's 
market. , 

Southern Saskatchewan was on 
the way back, he reported. It had 
this year quite a little seed and a 
real amount of fodder, which gave 
a happy, wholesome feeling after the 
empty years. Those men who had 
stuck to livestock had made the best 
comeback. 

Mr. Mitchell expressed himself as 
a@ believer in pre-sprouting wheat, 
particularly for late seeding. He 
described his method of treating 
with a formaldehyde-brine solution 
from which weed seeds could be 
floated off. He then-kept the seed 
moist for three or four days. Germi- 
nation wags hastened and ripened 
earlier and evener, he claimed. 


Can’t Catch A Cold 


Too Cold In The Antarctic For 
Germs To Live 
There is a place where you can’t 
catch a cold—the Antarctic. 
Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, 
who ought to know, said so while 
praising the “wonderful flight” of 
Lincoln Ellsworth and Herbert Hol- 
lick-Kenyon across Antarctica to 
Byrd’s Little America camp. 
The explorer was interested in a 
report, carried in connection with 
Ellsworth’s rescue, that Ellsworth 
was suffering from a slight cold. 
“You can’t catch cold in Antarc- 
tica,” he said. “You have to bring 
it in. The cold—it gets down to 80 
degrees below—kills all the bugs.”

No Illiteracy In Iceland : 


——’ 


Former Premier Of Northern IsJand 
Gives Americans Information 
About His Country * 

A little tired of explaining to curi- 
ous Americans that there are. no 
Eskimos in Iceland and that he lives 
not in an igloo but in an apartment 
house, Asgeir Asgeirsson, former 
premier and finance minister of Ice- 
land, had completed a three-months 

visit to the United States. 

He said there was not an Eskimo, 
negro or Jew among the 100,000 
population of his native country. 

“And then, so many ‘people still 

believe Leif Erickson's discovery of 
America is a myth,” he continued, 
“That I have never dared to go fur- 
ther and mention Thorfinnur Karl- 
senfnur, who came to North America 
about six years later, around 1006, 
with his wife. He stayed until the 
Indians drove him away, and his 
son, Snorri Thorfinnsson, was born 
here. 

“The son became a _ prominent 
man in Iceland on his return, and 
nearly all our population is related 
to him, as they are to William the 
Conqueror.” 

Iceland, Mr. Asgeirsson said, has 
only seasonal unemployment. There 
is no illiterarcy in the country and 
no army or navy. There had been 
only one bank failure, and that in 
1913 before the government nation- 
alized the banks. ; 


Trans-Atlantic Air Routes 


Canadian Terminal Likely To Be In 
Nova Scotia 
Probably the first landing-place on 
the American coasts will be at Har- 
| bor Grace, in Newfoundland, with a 
Canadian terminal in Nova Scotia. 
In this country the chances of vari- 
ous sites have been canvassed. Ex- 
perts of the Air Ministry have re- 
cehtly been examining several places 
in Ireland. Possibly Cork or Bantry 
Bay may be selected. There is even 
some talk of placing the British 
terminus on the Clyde, though this 
seems highly improbable, since it 
would mean that a longer distance 
would have to be crossed. A ter- 
minal English site somewhere on the 
south coast would be more conveni- 
ent for Imperial Airways’ propected 
Atlantic service by the Azores, of 
which the first stage—New York to 
Bermuda—is also to be begun next 
year. The Azores route offers con- 
siderably better weather than that 
between Ireland and Canada. On 
the other hand, it is much more 
roundabout, and one single stage is 
longer than the entire distance be- 
tween Ireland and 8t. John’s.—Man- 
chester Guardian.

Strange Glacial Lake In _

A strange glacial lake that emp- 
ties itself is yidlding its secrets to 
man, but it sfill turns back miners 
seeking gold known t6 lie in its bed. 

Called Lake St. George, this vast 
body of water empties itself each 
fall and refills during the winter and 
spring. The basin lies 20 miles 
south of the Matanuska Valley set- 


watermarks on the sides of the 
mountain valley. 


are uprooted and carried along as 
the flood moves swiftly toward the 
river deltas and the Cook Inlet out- 
let. 
Sourdoughs in western Alaska had 
known, of the flood for years but not 


until aeroplane travel was develop- -~ 


ed was the phenomenon fully ex- 
plained. 

From the air at the top of the 
Knik watershed can be seen seven 
or eight small glaciers, dead masses 
of ice. These drain during the thaw- 
ing period into a deep>canyon.- At 
the other end of the canyon Knik 
glacier flows. It is a living glacier. 
Its movement makes the mountains 
tremble. 


Knik glacier moves across the end 


of the canyon, closing it completely. 
Water accumulates behind. the bar- 
rier, fills in the canyon and forms 
the lake. 

Through the late spring and the 
summer months a warm sun beats 
down on the living mass of ice. Its 
Trays open a small channel through 
which a trickle of water flows. 

‘As weeks pass the trickle be- 
comes a small stream eating a hole 
through the Knik. ’ 

Then late in September, usually 
during one of the last ten days of 
the month, the entire lake bursts its 
icy barrier and dumps itself into the 
river valley below. 

Only once has the scene been 
photographed. A cameraman stood 
by for days waiting for the flood to 
burst forth. When -the Mow started, 
he was too close and was swept into 
the current. Helpers pulled him 
back to safety and on the way he 
turned the. crank: to record a few

New Map Of Canada 


Department Of The Interior Issues 
Valuable Map Of Handy Size 
The Topographical and Air Sur- 
vey Bureau, Department of the In- 
terior, Ottawa, has just issued a new 


miles to one inch which will be 
found of interest to all those per- 
sons who have use for a small scale 
map of the Dominion. 

The best map of Canada printed 
by the Department of the Interior is 
published on the scale of 35 miles to 
one inch in four separate sheets 
which, when joined together, cover a 
space about 4% feet by 8% feet, 
making an excellent wall map if one 
has such a space available. There is 
another map of intermediate size on 
the scale of 60 miles to one inch 
which is very convenient for desk 
use or as a small wall map. 

The new map has been produced 
to meet the demand for a smaller 
map of handy size, useful for gen- 
eral reference purposes. It is 25 
inches by 36 inches and fits into any 
large size drawer or a small space 
on the wall. This map shows all of 
Canada south of latitude 75, thus 
including all but some of the north- 
ern islands. All the larger physical 
features, such as lakes, rivers, bays, 
and islands, are depicted in correct 
position. The boundaries of the 
provinces and districts are outlined. 
All cities and towns are shown and 
all the railways are drawn in, but 
without the intermediate small sta- 
tions being named. The latitude and 
longitude lines are drawn and from 
them it may be seen that southern 
Ontario lies in the same latitude as 
Boston, while the southernmost tip 
of the Ontario peninsula is as far 
south as the northern end of the 
state of California. 

According to the Jatest figures, the 
land and fresh water area of Can- 
ada, according to provinces and ter- 
ritories, is given in the following 
table:

Lake Superior is the largest lake 
shown on the map. It and Lakes 
Huron, Erie, and Ontario lie between 
Ontario and the United States. Of 
the lakes lying wholly within Cana- 
dian territory, Great Bear Lake is 
the largest with an expanse of 11,660 
square miles. Other large lakes 
over 1,000 square miles in area in- 
clude Great Slave, Winnipeg, Atha- 
baska, Winnipegosis, Manitoba, Nipi- 
gon, Southern Indian, Reindeer, Du- 
bawnt, La Martre, and Lake of the 
Woods. ; 

Canada has some great river sys- 
tems, the Mackenzie being 2,500 
miles in length from its mouth to 
its headwaters, and the St. Law- 
rence 1,900 miles. Other great riv- 
ers over 1,000 miles in length in- 
clude the Nelson, Saskatchewan, 
Churchill, .Columbia, Peace and Yu- 
kon. . 

Mount Logan is the highest moun- 
tain in Canada, with an altitude of 
19,850 feet. In addition to it there 
are 66 other mountain peaks above 
11,000 feet in height. 

Copies of this map may be obtain- 
ed from the Surveyor General, De- 
partment of the Interior, Ottawa, for 
25 cents per copy. As it is a useful 
school map, one copy will be sup- 
plied free to any school for official 
use, upon application of the teacher 
or school board,

Widow Of Chinese Market Gardener 
Gets $2,000 Estate 

Picturesque details of a wedding 
performed 85 years ago in China—a 
wedding that lasted through four 
days of feasting, ancestor worship- 
ping, and present giving—were un- 
folded in district court chambers at 
Edmonton, before Judge Crawford. 
Proof of the wedding was required 
before an order could be made 
granting the widow of a Chinese 
market gardener his estate valued 
at about $2,000. The order was 
granted. 

The application on behalf of Wong 
Lee, 62-year-old widow of Charlie 
Mah Yee, who died in Edmonton in 
1921 without a will, was presented 
by the Chinese consul-general for 
Canada, through J. T. J. Collison, 
K.C, Only two factors could nullify 
the marriage, the vows disclosed— 
death or leprosy. 

By the court order the widow in

died, will receive the money, held in 
trust by the provincial government 
during that time, which will place 
her in the lap of luxury in her na-

Lesson: Luke 5. 
Devotional reading: Isaiah 62:6-12, 


Explanations And Comments 

The Call of Peter, Luke 5:1-11. 
The western side of the Lake of 
Gennesaret, or the Sea of Galilee as 
it is better known to us, was densely 
populated in the first century. One 
day Jesus stood on the shore near 
some fishermen who were washing 
their nets to free them from the 
mud, weeds and stone which they 
had brought up from the bottom of 
the lake. To escape from the 
thronging crowd about him, Jesus 
entered a fishing boat belonging to 
Simon Peter and asked him to push 
off a little distance from the land. 
Then sitting down he taught the 
people standing on the shore. ‘‘The 
clear, rippling water playing gently 
round the boat,’ comments Dr. Gei- 
kie, “the fields and vineyards and 
olive groves behind; the eager listen- 
ers with their varied and picturesque 
Eastern dress; the wondrous 
Preacher; the calmness and delicious 
coolness of the morning, and, over 
all, the cloudless Syrian sky, must 
have made a scene striking in the 
extreme.” 

When he had finished his talk, 
Jesus turned to Simon and bade him 
launch out into the deep and let 
down his nets for a draught. In 


‘}amazement Simon answered, ‘Mas- 


ter, we have toiled all night and 
have taken nothing.’’ Success was 
wholly unlikely at that time of day 
and in deep water, he thought, for 
fish were caught at night and near 
the shore. 

“Nevertheless at thy word I will 
let down the net,’’ Simon added. “It 
was the language of prompt and full 
obedience. It showed that Simon's 
nature was_ responsive. He had 
learned to obey, which was the first 
lesson of discipleship; and, having 
learned to obey, he was therefore fit 
to rule, qualified for leadership.” 
(Henry Burton). 

The result of Simon’s obedience 
was so great a catch that his part- 
ners, James and John (verse 10), 
had to be called to his aid, for his 
net was in danger of breaking from 
the weight of fish within it. Then 
in great fear and astonishment Si- 
mon fell at the feet of Jesus ex- 
claiming ‘Depart from me, for I am 
a sinful man, O Lord.” “It was an 
act so wonderful and kindly that 
Peter saw, and seeing loathed him- 
self. Have we not all experienced 
that judgment—the silent judgment 
of some noble act? Nothing was 
said, but something fine was done, 
and seeing it so done, we were 
ashamed. In the acts of Jesus, all 
of them acts of. love and acts of 
grace, there lay the power, in un- 
equalled measure, of touching men 
with a strange self-reproach.” (G. 
H. Morrison).

NEW RULER OF 
BRITAIN PUBLICLY 
PROCLAIMED KING 


London, 
try Edward 


Amid mediaeval pagean- 
VIII. was proclaimed 


king and began the 39th reign since | 


the Norman conquest. 


The 41-year-old bachelor, with 4 
new solemnity because of his re- 
sponsibilities, plunged into the affairs 
of state. He conferred with Prime 
Minister Baldwin and then sadly re- 
turned to Sandringham. 


From the of St. 


balcony James’ 


Palace, at Charing Cross, again at 
Temple Bar, and finally at the Royal 
Exchange, in the heart of the city 
of London, the new king was public- 


ly proclaimed. 
lined the 


Ten thousand troops 
streets while picturesque 


41-gun salute boomed in the honor 
of the man who symbolizes imperial 
unity. 

And the words of the ancient 
proclamation were carried through- 
out the mighty empire, embracing 
every continent, by wireless—a mod- 
ern touch to the picturesque pro- 
ceedings. Many of Edward's 500,- 
000,000 new subjects heard them. 

An enormous throng gathered out- 


side St. James’ Palace heard the 
garter king of arms, in mediaeval 
dress, proclaim Edward VIII. as 
king. 

The king of arms, Sir Gerald 


Woods Wollaston, stepped to the bal- 
cony over the Friary Court. In a 
firm voice he proclaimed the 41-year- 
old Edward king, emperor and de- 
fender of the faith. 


Blasts from silver trumpets rang} 


out as Sir Gerald, a member of the 
Herald’s college, pronounced the re- 
sounding words: “God Save the 
King!” 

The throng stood silent, the bat- 
tery of St. James’ park crashed out 
with the first of its salute of 41 
guns—one for each year of King 
Edward's life. 

The new ruler was seen to appear 
momentarily at a tall window ad- 
joining the crimson-hung balcony. 


Otherwise he took no part in the} 


traditional ceremonies. 

The “faith and constant 
ence’ of all his subjects were 
pledged to the new sovereign, con- 
firming his succession to the throne 
of his late father, the 70-year-old 
King George V. 


The words of the centuries-old 


proclamation were carried through-| 


out the nation and the Empire, to 
the new king’s 500,000,000 subjects 
throughout a quarter of the world. 
Wireless. the modern conqueror of 
space, was used for the first time in 
‘such a British royal ceremony. 

The Royal Standard, which had 
not flown over Buckingham Palace 


since King George and Queen Mary! 


left for Sandringham before Christ- 
mas, then was run up over the pal- 
ace, a quarter of a mile down the 
Mall. The band struck up the Na- 
tional Anthem. 


Canadian Red Cross 


Unit Moving Into Fighting Zone In 
Ethiopia 
Toronto.—Dr. R. V. Bingham, of 
the Sudan interior mission head- 
quarters here, received a cable ad- 
vising him a Red Cross unit super- 
vised by Dr. Ralph Hooper, of Tor- 
onto, was moving into the southern 

fighting zone in Ethiopia. 

Dr. Hooper’s unit includes three 
other Canadians and a number of 
Ethiopian assistants, Dr. Hooper, 
his wife and daughter and the Cana- 


dian members of the unit left here in| 


November for Ethiopia, Mrs, Hooper, 
in charge of the leper hospital at 
Addis Ababa, and her daughter, are 
not accompanying the doctor into 
the fighting area, 

The unit wag.bombed in December, 
but there were no casualties. The 
bombs damaged equipment, however. 

Act Of Mercy 

London.—Opening of the reign of 
Edward VIII. was marked with an 
act of mercy; Arthur Charles Mor- 
timer, a soldier, under sentence of 
death for running down and killing a 
girl bicyclist with an automobile, re- 
ceived a reprieve commuting his 
sentence to penal servitude for life.

Alberta’s New School Plan 


Ohanges May Be ‘Be Put Into Effect 
Next September 
Edmonton.—Adoption of a revolu- 


tionary new school plan in rural Al- 
berta probably will be made compul- 
sory next September and may be 
adopted wholly or in modified form 
in the cities at the same time, it 
was announced by G. Fred McNally, 
deputy minister of education and 
supervisor of schools for the prov- 
ince. 

The plan calls for elimination of 
grade nine; 
elimination of the grade system; 
establishment of an “intermediate” 
school between elementary school 
and high school; and radical revi- 
sions in school curricula. 

The general plan of the changes 
has been approved by the cabinet 
and nothing more than an order by 
the minister of education, Premier 
is needed now to launch 
the new system throughout the prov- 
ince, Mr. McNally said. In the cities, 
however, the changes rest with the 
school boards themselves. 


Oppose Legislation 


Four Provinces Attack Validity Of 
Federal Statute 

Ottawa.—New Brunswick and Bri- 
tish Columbia joined Quebec and On- 
tario in attacking validity of the 
federal statute establishing a trade 
and industry commission. 

Chief Justice Duff and the five 
other judges took oaths of allegiance 
to King Edward. The court ad- 
journed in tribute to King George. 

J. W. Farris representing British 
Columbia expressed alarm at recent 
court judgment which broadened the 
powers of the Dominion at expense 
of the provinces. D. V. White, rep- 
resenting New Brunswick, said his 
province stood on the same ground 
as Quebec in opposing the act. 


Federal Responsibility 


Alberta Taxation Inquiry 
Makes Report 
Edmonton.—Federal _, responsibility 
for all unemployment relief and old 
age pensions; revision of provincial 
income tax rates aimed at larger 
revenues; and consideration of a 


- Board 


| provincial wage tax and of a general 


sales tax are urged upon the Alberta 
government in the report of the Al- 
berta taxation inquiry board, it was 
revealed by Premier Aberhart. 

The report, completed in Decem- 
ber, was presented to the cabinet, It 
will be studied in the next few weeks 
by the government, Mr. Aberhart 
said, and copies will be handed to 
each member of the legislature. 


Door Is Closed 


King Edward VIII. Denied Admit- 
tance To House Of Commons 

London.—Just one place in his en- 
tire kingdom—a place he keenly en- 
joyed visiting—is closed forever to 
King Edward VIII. 

That place is the House of Com- 
mons, 

Never again will the former Prince 
of Wales sit in the special gallery 
seat, reserved for the king’s heir, 
over the clock. 

Tradition dictates the sovereign 
must not enter the precincts of the 
House of Commons, ; 

Participation by the sovereign in 
the lords’ debate is another thing 
which “isn’t done,” 


Constitutional Violations 
Geneva. — British Foreign. Secre- 
tary Anthony Eden characterized as 
“extremely grave’’ .accusations of 
constitutional violations against the 


eonatg of tig’ Pree City’ of “'8'|\ to) throw into relief ‘both the char- 


under the guarantee of the League 
of Nations. The senate is chiefly 
accused of refusing. to abolish de-

viously declared unconstitutional, in- 
cluding those removing the.right of 
free speech and freedom of the press.

Hamilton, Ont..-8..J, Hungerford, 
president of the Canadian National

[ THE EMPIRE MOURNS __| 


The bells of Britain toll tonight, 
Toll for the passing of the king; 
And as the message takes its flight, 
The Empire bells are echoing 
Around the world the solemn strain, 
A requiem for a noble reign. 


—J. Lewis Milligan. 
* ¢ ¢ 


The late King George will live in 
history as a king who led his empire 
in dark days; but still more as a 
king who came closer than any other 
monarch to the hearts of his sub- 
jects, was the tribute paid to the 
memory of the deceased monarch by 
Lord Tweedsmuir, Canada’s gover- 
nor-general. The full text of His 
Excellency’s tribute follows: 

King George is mourned as the 
centre of the loyalties of a great 
empire. But in this hour of universal 
sorrow, I think of him chiefly as my 
beloved master and friend. He dig- 
nified the throne which he inherited 
by his courage and faithfulness, and 
he endeared it to his subjects by the 
warmth of his sympathy. He was a 
friend of all, rich and poor alike, 
sharing to the full in their joys and 
sorrow. The plain man saw in him 
one who understood him and whom 
in turn he understood. He will live 
ir history as a king who led his em- 
p:re in dark days, but still more as 
a king who came closer than any 
other monarch to the hearts of his 
subjects. He would wish for no 
better epitaph than that he feared 
God and loved and served his people. 


* * 


Prime Minister ~-Mackenzie* King 
joined with all Canada in expression 
of tribute to “the greatness and 
goodness” of King George V., and in 
voicing the “sense of personal loss 
and personal sorrow which is felt 
without distinction of race or creed 
or.class in the hearts of all Cana- 
dians,” 

Mr. King gave out the following 
statement: 

It is less than a year since all 
parts of the British empire paid 
their tributes, amid rejoicing, to the 
greatness and the goodness of King 
George V. To-day, these tributes are 
a part of the world’s sorrow. 

King George’s silver jubilee served 


acteristics of the last quarter of a 
century, and the character of his 
late majesty himself. In that peniod 
of time—one of the Georgian eras— 
the world witnessed and humanity 
endured more of unrest, of suffering, 
of anguish, and of change than had 
ever heretofore been known. Amid 
those difficult and dangerous years, 

epoch of strife and insecurity, 

' British commonwealth of na- 
tions ~ ‘had in his late majesty a 
reign who faced every situation 
with calmness, with confidence, and 
with courage. 


It would be difficult te estimate} He was commander- -in-ehiet 
2135) how much British peoples, and, in-| Australian station from’ 1902 


deed, the entire world, owed, and 
will continue to owe to King | 
George’s personality and personal) 


example, to his steadfastness, his 
undertanding, his fidelity, and his 
sagacity. 


In the Great War, his late majesty, 
in virtue of his high office, stood as 
the symbol of the common effort and 
concerted action of all parts of the) 
British commonwealth of nations. 

In the difficult post-war period of | 
reconstruction, when governments 
came and went, and many constitu- 
tional changes were effected, his late 
majesty again, in virtue of his un- 
derstanding, and wisdom, his stead- 
fastness and composure, and his 
high office as head of the state, stood 
as the embodiment of an unwavering 
constitutional authority in Great 
Britain and beyond the seas. 

In war and peace alike, King 
George exemplified upon all ‘occa- 
sions his never-failing sense of duty 
and his. broad democratic sympa- 
thies. 
and to the issues he and his mini- 
sters. were called upon to face, it 
can truly be said, there never was a 
better king. 


This man was king in England’s 
direst need; 
In the black-battled years when 


Having regard to the times! é 
| hospital unconscious to succumb to 


hope was gone, 
His courage was a flag, men rallied) 


on; 

His steadfast spirit showed him 
king indeed. 

And when the war was ended, when 
the thought 

Of revolution took its hideous 
place; | 

His courage and his kindness and} 
his grace 

Scattered (or charmed) its ministers 
to naught. 

No king, of all our many, has been 
proved 

By time so savage to the thrones 
of kings; 

Nor won more simple triumph over 
fate. 

He was most royal among royal | 
things, 

Most thoughtful for the meanest in 
his ‘state; 

The best, the gentlest and the most 
beloved. 


Senior Admiral Of Fleet 


Sir Arthur Fanshawe Dies At Age 
Of 838 ; 

London,--Senior. Admiral of _ the 
fieet, Sip Arthur Fanshawe, died at) 
the age. of 88. 

Known as “father of the British 
Fleet,” he was a keen advocate of 
Anglo-United States co-operation, 
declaring in 1933, 
sea power is so great they could for-

POWERS PRESENT 


ARMED FRONT ON 
MEDITERRANEAN 


Geneva. — Great Britain, France 
and four smaller powers presented 
an armed front against any Italian 
aggression in the Mediterranean 
area provoked by League of Nations 
sanctions, 

An immediate formal , protest 
against the agreement Was made 
here by Italy. 

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, 
of Great Britain, in a strong com- 
munication backed by France, Greece, 
Yugoslavia and Turkey, officially in- 
formed the League of »' Nations 
“grand committee’ of 52 nations 
that these five powers had agreed 
to give aid to Great Britain if the 
British fleet is attacked by Italy. In 
turn Britain gave assurances of sup- 
port to France, Greece, Turkey and 
Yugoslavia. Czechoslovakia by agree- 
ment with its ally Roumania also 
gave formal approval to the plan. 

Mr. Eden.,, revealed the Anglo- 
French agreement included “un- 
limited mutual aid by the air forces 
and navies’’ of the two powers. He 
disclosed Italy had been informed 
officially of the agreement by all the 
nations concerned, which are mutu- 
ally bound to aid any of their num- 
ber attacked by Italy. 

Mr. Eden denied to the committee 
Britain and France had made any 
agreement by which the British 
would aid the:French against a hos- 
tile move by Germany threatening 
France’s western border. He said 
the whole five-power understanding 
was restricted to the Mediterranean 
area. 

The agreement, he further ex- 
plained, was arranged in full accord- 
ance with article XVI. of the league 
covenant. This provides such aid 
against any aggression by a member 
nation which violates that covenant. 
(In this case Italy, which was out- 
lawed by the league for its war on 
Ethiopia.)

Cornered By Police 

Vancouver.—A week-old manhunt

stantly and Hyslop was rushed 4o 


a bullet in the head two hours later.

the two suspects ended the search 
for those implicated in the holdup 
on January 15 of the Powell street 
branch of the Canadian Bank of 
Commerce, when three bandits es- 
caped with $1,200 after the bank 
teller William H. Hobbs, had been 
fatally wounded, and the. manager, 


| Thomas Winsby, had also been shot.

Two other men are held by police 
charged with murder in connection 
with Hobbs’ death and two more are 
charged as accessories,

THE WHEAT SURPLUS PROBLEM UN- 
SOLVED, AS YET. 


Small world crops in two successive seas- 
ons, 1934 and 1935, have gone far towards 
correcting the current wheat surplus condit- 
ion- which has prevailed since the huge 
world harvest of 1928, says the Food Re- 
search Bureau of Stanford University in its 
December Review of the World Wheat Situa- 
tion. This, however, will not suffice to elimi- 
nate the wheat surplus problem, the Survey 
says. This problem arises from the fact that 
wheat producers in the world as a whole are 
geared to produce larger crops than can be 
sold, under prevailing and prospective con- 
ditions, at prices that growers and govern- 
ments regard as remunerative. With average 
abandonment of sown acreage, and average 
yields per harvested acre, the next world 
wheat crop gr exceed what will disap- 
pear during 1936-37 except by diversion into 

eed use and the Orient under stress of low 

prices. In this larger sense, it is hardly too 
much to say, no significant net progress has 
yet been made towards a genuine economic 
equilibrium in the world wheat economy.

“Who was it?’ His patience was 
wearing thin with the delay, so 
anxious was Link to reach the point: 
the man’s name who had plotted all 
this! 

Soak stepped back a pace. His 
eyes were steadier now, glowing with 
determination. ‘“He’s a snake, Link.

The crackle of a Winchester cut 
the crips air. Fleming leaped back, 
plunging under his jacket for the 
Colt that rode there. Soak Torney 
threw up his hands and uttered a cry 
of pain and fear. His face was paper- 
white as he staggered, tripped, and 
pitched heavily full length in the 
road dust. 

‘It was...itwas...” 

The words died away in a thin 
whisper. Torney’s slight frame 
twitched, then lay still. Link needed 
no closer inspection to tell him the 
man was dead.

He was drinkin’ himself into a nice

Fleming, without holstering _ his

glancing behind trees and into 
shrubs to determine whether Jack-

CHAPTER VI. 


Link whirled and plunged for the 
safety of the trees. He was in the 
nick of time, for the next instant the 
Winchester uttered its throaty roar 
again. The bullet gouged through 
the high crown of his anthill hat, lift- 
ing it from his head and carrying git 
some eight feet away. Another shot 
went wild. 

With sixgun ready and every sense 
keenly alert, he started a round- 
about way toward the approximate 
source of the shooting. Twenty yards 
covered failed to locate anyone, and 
he paused to listen. But his ears 
could detect no footfalls, and cer- 
tainly, he thought, sounds of a man 
moving over the hard-packed ground 
should carry to him. 

After some refiection he continued 
the search always wary lest the un- 
known slayer of Torney fire another 
time. The patch of cottonwoods, 
roughly diamond in shape, bordered 
the cold flowing water of Iron Spring 
as it ran several hundred feet before 
disappearing underground in sandy 
loam. 

Link stepped from cover, his Colt 
raised. ‘Don’t move for your gun!” 

A man on-his knees beside the 
stream turned sharply. “Huh!” Jack- 
pot Mell, owner ‘of the Half Moon 
Saloon in Rawhide, rose to his full 
height. He scowled indignantly at 
the weapon pointed his way. 

“What's the idea, Link? Gunnin’ 
for somebody?” 

They watched each other with the 
wary suspicion of two animals. 
‘‘Where’s your Winchester, Mell?” 

The man shook his head. “Never 
carry one. It’s too doggone much 
bother, and I always been pretty 
lucky with forty-fives: Say,’ he de- 
manded curiously, “what’s this all 
about, anyhow?” 

True, Link had never seen Jackpot 
with a rifle that he could recall. The 
man’s bone-handled sixguns had ac- 
counted for seven victims over a 
period of as many years. Mell was 
a killer, nerveless, deliberate and 
wholly lacking in mercy. He had the
